            // METHODOLOGY & DATA ISOLATION
        
            1. Intentional Viewing: Evaluates horizontal long-form video uploads. Algorithmic short-form feeds under 60 seconds are explicitly filtered out to isolate active audience discovery from passive impressions.
        
            2. 14-Day Reach: Sums total views across all long-form videos uploaded over the past 14 days to measure raw current audience volume.
        
            3. Velocity (Baseline Multiplier): Compares the average views per video over the last 14 days against the channel's 60-day average views per video baseline. A multiplier of 1.00x represents normal channel performance, while 1.50x indicates recent uploads are getting 50% more views per video than usual regardless of upload frequency.
        
            4. Engagement Depth: Measures audience participation by calculating the percentage of likes and comments relative to total view volume across all long-form uploads in the 14-day window.
